2022 Arnold Amateur Masters
Figure, Bikini, Wellness & WPD Championships
(Columbus, Ohio - March 5, 2022)
One of the most prestigious IFBB Pro Qualifiers in the world is the Arnold Amateur.
As part of the Arnold Sports Festival, it attracts visitors from all over the world.
And while the Masters categories do not give out Pro Cards, the level of competition
can be worthy of that level. Case in point was Overall Figure winner Caroline Zawadzki,
the buzz from the peanut gallery around me was "that's a Pro physique". She came in
second to the eventual Overall winner in their height class so definitely a lot of
truth to that. Actually, if fact ALL four height class winners here sported national
level competitive physiques!

Turning to Bikini, some good battles within classes...'A' in particular with Christina Choice (eventual Overall winner) and
runner-up Michelle Targonska, both had a good balance of shape and muscle for the category. We've embeded that prejudging comparison round below. Not to be overlooked in Class 'B'
would be Team Atlas competitor Rupsikha Borah Deori, posing on point...very nicely done!
|
Wellness is gradually coming into its own, a good representative of the look in Overall winner Norma Esparza.
Last but not least was Women's Physique, with Dana Pierce who incidentally won her height class in Figure as well.
